[1]Thiswas written in_connection with a letter from M. I. Frumkin,
Deputy People’s Commissar for Food, on February 20, 1922,
who objected to the plan for trading in salt, which he believed to
be wrong. Frumkin requested that the reply to his letter should
be sent to Bryukhanov.

N.P.Bryukhanov, replying on March 6 to Lenin’s note, wrote
that the People’s Commissariat for Food had organised the trade in
salt “in the very direction” suggested by Lenin. Bryukhanov
reported the preparation of an agreement with the Supreme Economic
Council and other measures (Central Party Archives of the Institute
of Marxism-Leninism of the C.P.S.U. Central Committee).
